MonoNeon Explores the Outer Limits on “Tell Me That This Love Ain’t Real” for the Nord Live Session

MonoNeon is back with another wild one, dropping a fresh Nord Live Session performance of “Tell Me That This Love Ain’t Real.” This is just the latest in a run of recent releases he’s been rolling out, and each one feels like he’s nudging the bass world a little further into his own universe.

This take shows Mono at some of his most adventurous. He stretches the tune way beyond the usual boundaries, diving into free-form textures, extended solos, and those unpredictable turns that only he seems to think of in the moment. It’s groovy, it’s messy in all the right ways, and it’s completely unapologetic.

What really stands out here is how firmly he keeps the bass at the center of everything. Mono’s been leading this charge for a while now, pushing what the instrument can be as a primary voice in a band. He’s not just laying down lines; he’s building the whole environment around his playing. This session is another reminder that he’s out front, shaping where modern bass expression goes next.

Definitely give it a watch. It’s another example of MonoNeon opening new doors for the rest of us, one wild performance at a time.
